Course Description
We live in a time when businesses and organisations face incredible technological innovation, and customers have more options than ever. How can we create a product that consumers love while assisting an organisation in achieving its goals? This requires a method that can adapt to a rapidly changing environment and quickly respond to changing customer needs. This is where the Agile and Scrum methodology comes in. Agile and Scrum are two distinct methods that can be used separately; however, the combined benefits of the two methods make the Agile Scrum methodology the most popular application of Agile. This course introduces the fundamental concepts of Agile and Scrum, including the origin of Scrum. You’ll learn about the benefits of implementing Agile and Scrum in project management and software development, including the roles, activities, and artefacts of the Scrum framework.
How does Agile Scrum work? Understanding the underlying principles that drive it is necessary to comprehend how it works. We’ll discuss Scrum’s Agile principles and compares them to traditional, plan-driven, sequential product development. After that, you’ll understand how Scrum differs from more conventional product development methods. Agile allows teams to develop projects in small increments known as “sprints” and enables more effective collaboration among groups working on complex projects. We will go into more detail about sprints and how they work. In addition, we’ll examine some of the essential parts of sprints, such as how they are time-boxed and have a short and consistent length.
Next, you’ll learn what user stories are, how they can show business value at different levels of abstraction, and how to know if a user story is good. You’ll study how to deal with nonfunctional requirements and work to gain knowledge on a Scrum project, including ways to get user stories. After that, we’ll explore the characteristics of a good product backlog and how good backlog grooming helps to improve these characteristics. Finally, you’ll learn about estimation and velocity, including their role in Agile planning. This course is designed for business owners and project managers interested in learning more about the Agile Scrum methodology and how to implement it as a management process. Companies of all sizes use Agile Scrum methodology for its ability to provide high-end collaboration, efficiency for project-based work and even boost revenue. So why wait? Enrol today!
